Living Proof that Liberals are Classless Assholes

Markos Moulitsas Insults former Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo.

Transcript:

DAVID SHUSTER, HOST: Ok, so how about the veterans administration? The Veterans Administration is a single-payer system. Everybody in the military who was treated yesterday; so the military members, their health care system, that`s also a threat to our freedom?
TOM TANCREDO, FORMER CONGRESSMAN: Talk to every veterans group I ever went and talked to complained about the Veterans Administration and the way it was a bureaucratically run program that didn`t serve their needs. They would rather have vouchers that would allow them to go out and buy their insurance in a private marketplace.
They`ve talked about it and at least you`re laughing. David, talk to the veterans. They talk to me and that`s what they said.
SHUSTER: Markos?
MARKOS MOULITSAS, DAILY KOS OWNER: I`m a veteran, Tom — Tom, I`m a veteran.
TANCREDO: Yes.
MARKOS: Ok? I did not get a deferment because I was too depressed to fight in a war that I supported in Vietnam. I`m a veteran.
TANCREDO: Yes. Well decade, people want – they don`t any more stupid things…
(CROSSTALK)
MARKOS: They want a more effective — they want a more effective VA. That`s more money.
TANCREDO: No, you`re not going to do that. You`re not going to try to insult me that way and then pretend like we`re just going on and talk about that. You either apologize.
MARKOS: I`m not pretending anything. I told you straight up.
The issue here, what the Republicans are afraid of, this is a threat to Republicans. They built an entire ideology predicated on telling people that government does not work. They are terrified of government programs that work because then people will realize that the government is not the enemy and that they`re going to work — they`re going to vote Democratic because Democrats are the party who realize that people need help and government can sometimes offer solutions.
SHUSTER: Thank you Markos Moulitsas and also Congress Tom Tancredo for the time that he was with us. I think he left a little bit early. But the congressman is always welcome on this show. We always appreciate hearing his point of view. And it`s a feisty one. And that`s what we like around here.
Markos, thank you as well.

Newsbusters, of all people, wants to know if this was actually insulting. I would say yes.

Hey America, Welcome to my World!

Just wanted to be nice about it.

Welcome to my World!

Via The Old Grey Lady:

The United States economy shed 190,000 jobs in October, and the unemployment rate reached a 26-year high of 10.2 percent, up from 9.8 percent in September, the Department of Labor said Friday in its monthly economic appraisal.
While the pace of job losses has slowed significantly since the peak of the recession last winter, the unemployment rate, which measures the number of people actively seeking work, continues to climb, and economists do not foresee relief until well into next year.
“There’s no doubt that the slashing and burning of jobs has abated quite a lot,” said Allen L. Sinai, the founder of Decision Economics, a research firm. “The economy is recovering, but it is a very soft recovery.”
The biggest losses came in the construction, manufacturing and retailing sectors. Health care companies added 29,000 jobs to their payrolls, and the number of temporary workers increased by 34,000 — a significant gain that could indicate employers are beginning to expand their businesses again.
The Labor Department also revised September’s losses to 219,000 from 263,000.
Dean Baker, a director for the Center for Economic and Policy Research, said he did not expect declining unemployment rates until next spring. “We may be looking at very high levels,” Mr. Baker said, “barring a policy response, for several years into the future.”

Um, Why should there be any policy response? I believe that we are already tapping our resources to the limit now.

On Thursday, in anticipation of the unemployment report, Congress overwhelmingly voted to extend benefits for jobless workers for up to 20 weeks. That will soothe the short-term financial pain of many families, but demands for a new wave of government relief may intensify if companies continue to cut back.

Yes, let’s encourage people NOT to look for a job and continue to spend ourselves into a hole; by being a nanny state.

So far, the federal stimulus package has injected billions into local economies, giving states money, for instance, to finance construction projects or retain teachers. The housing and auto sectors have been propped up with government credits meant to encourage spending. But weak consumer demand and hefty labor costs are still forcing many employers to cut positions and reduce hours to survive.

So much for Hope and change!

The article goes on trying to defend President Obama, which is so typical for the New York Times, but it is quite obvious, this President has failed on all fronts, the stimulus, the bailouts —- everything. He is, in fact, a black Jimmy Carter.

Ed Morrissey says:

This is now Obama’s economy. He owns the double-digit unemployment level, having bought it with the $787 billion stimulus plan that he promised would keep unemployment no higher than 8%.

I agree with that. Obama simply continued the bailouts that President Bush started, which was a huge mistake.

The AP Reports:

But the loss of jobs last month exceeded economists’ estimates. It’s the 22nd straight month the U.S. economy has shed jobs, the longest on records dating back 70 years.
Counting those who have settled for part-time jobs or stopped looking for work, the unemployment rate would be 17.5 percent, the highest on records dating from 1994.

Now, if I were a partisan Blogger, I would simply sit here and blame Obama for it all. However, I am a bit more smarter than this. This all goes to Carter and then to Clinton. This video from the Wayne County Republicans will explain:

These unemployment numbers are just a ripple effect of all of this. Bush had a hand in it, as well as Obama. This is what happens when you elect faux Conservatives as Republicans and it is what happens when you elect Socialists.

Gay Blade Ted Haggard Starts a New Church

Chrisma Magazine Reports:

Ted Haggard, who in 2006 resigned from the Colorado megachurch he founded in the wake of a sex and drug scandal, announced Wednesday that he plans to host a prayer meeting in his living room.
The first meeting will be held Nov. 12. at Haggard’s Colorado Springs home and could evolve into a church, though Haggard said that is not his aim. He said he and his wife, Gayle, have been traveling almost weekly since the HBO documentary The Trials of Ted Haggard debuted in January, and they thought they needed prayer support.
“This is a Thursday night prayer meeting in our home,” Haggard said. “What we want to do is be able to tell our schedule and our story and know that we’re covered in prayer. And we want to hear their stories and give them the assurance that they’re covered in prayer as well.”
[…]
Ministers who have worked with Haggard say it is premature for him to launch into ministry.
C. Peter Wagner, who co-founded the World Prayer Center with Haggard, told the Gazette that Haggard should receive approval from apostolic overseers before leading people in prayer and worship.
“My reservation is that he has not followed through completely on apostolic protocol,” Wagner told the Gazette.
Other leaders question whether Haggard has been restored after falling into sexuality immorality. Gary Black, whose Rock the Nation youth ministry was once affiliated with New Life, told the Gazette he was taken aback by the news of the prayer group. “I would be shocked to think he’s ready to lead a church,” he said.

Not only is this moron a gay blade; but he is a rebellious gay blade as well. So typical for the Evangelical Pentecostal whack jobs.

(H/T to Baptist Planet on Twitter)

Seriously, Why do Conservatives embrace people like this?

I am sure that most of you have heard about the newest revelation about the Conservative movement’s newest prissy little hoe.

No, I am not talking about Ann Coulter; although she could most qualify for one as well. After all, she does have experience with F.B.I. agents, or so I am told. Amazing what a woman will do to get out of voter fraud charges.

I am referring to the slutty little darling of the Conservative movement, Carrie Prejean. She sure did play that victim card very well, didn’t she? Went on Hannity and claimed “Them mean ol’ Liberals are picking on me!” Admittedly, Perez Hilton was a bit of an ass, because of what Prejean said. But, there is a bit of an issue here.

The issue is this, Carrie Prejean has outed herself as nothing more than a typical white American Evangelical Christian — a damned hypocrite. Speaking of which; you want to know what the real kicker of this story is? When contacted by the media, Carrie Prejean’s Pastor of the so-called Church that she attends had this to say:

Carrie Prejean’s pastor isn’t willing to give up on his famous fallen beauty queen, after learning she made a graphic, solo sex tape.
Pastor Darren Carrington from The Rock Church in San Diego says, “Everyone is a work in progress,” adding everyone has “something we’re not proud of.”

Wow. Whatever happened to the days of “Being Churched?” Back in the days; when my Mother and Father were her age, and still to this day in most Fundamentalist Churches, If charges like these were brought up — She would have been marched in front of the Church and instructed to publicly repent or she would have been removed from the Church! There was No discipline here, No statement of “we will be having a meeting with Carrie to ask her to explain her behavior”. Just “Live and learn.” Unbelievable. Oh, wait, the Evangelical Church mostly abandoned this practice long ago —– which most likely explains why it is in the condition it is in today. My bad.

The broader point that I am trying to make here is this here. If the Conservative movement is going to ever make any sort of real impression on the rest of America; they are simply going to have to stop embracing people, like Carrie, who have all these inconsistencies in their backgrounds. Further more, they need to stop embracing people, who are not always honest about who they are. The list is long, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Sarah Palin, Joe the Plumber, Rush Limbaugh, and now — Carrie Prejean.

My biggest issue with this is that Carrie Prejean went out of her way to articulate her so-called “Conservative Christian” beliefs in a secular beauty pageant and because of a liberal blowhard’s meltdown after the pageant; she became the newest persecuted little waif. The problem was that she was not exactly Phyllis Schlafly, when it came to her own personal morals. Which is quite typical of the Christian right and the Conservative movement for the past twenty years or so.

The problem is, and this has been said in the Conservative Blogosphere in some quarters; that the Conservative movement has no real authentic people anymore. Just two-bit hacks and phony people who lie about who they are, and how smart they are. William F. Buckley was an authentic brilliant man, who brought intellect to the Conservative movement. Hannity, Limbaugh, Beck, Coulter and the rest are nothing more than two bit hacks who stumbled and bumbled their way through life and just happened to land jobs that made them what they are today. Because of this, we have the Conservative movement that is in the shape it is today.

Little Green Screwballs promotes false story about NY-23 and Hoffman Supporters

It seems that the Blogger excitable Chucky and his friends over at Little Green Screwballs are promoting a false story that was reported and then updated by the New York Daily News.

The initial story said:

It’s getting ugly out there.
I just got off the phone with former state Democratic Chairwoman June O’Neill, who informed me the police had been called to at least two polling sites in St. Lawrence County due to overzealous electioneering (O’Neill called it “voter intimidation”) by Doug Hoffman supporters.
“We’ve gotten reports that people are standing there, covered with Hoffman stickers and yelling anti-choice stuff at voters,” said O’Neill, a St. Lawrence native who has been running the party’s GOTV effort for Bill Owens in NY-23.
“Apparently, there’s some woman claiming to be a commissioner,” O’Neill continued. “Commissioner of what, I don’t know. She’s from Texas, I think, and she won’t leave.”
“This is not the way we roll in the North Country.”

However, if you read the update you will see that things were a bit overblown and that it was a intimidation tactic by Owens supporters:

UPDATE: Joy Yearout, spokeswoman for the Susan B. Anthony List, a pro-life group that has endorsed Hoffman and is providing some 200 volunteers for him today, called in to provide “some additional information.”
Yearout said SBL has people working polling sites at 100 precincts in the 23rd for Hoffman. They’re handing out sample ballots so voters know where to find his name – remember, he’s on the Conservative line, which is Row D.
“At least three of our volunteers have been threatened with police when they’re not doing anything wrong,” Yearout said. “They haven’t seen any Democrats. No one for Owens.”
“So, apparently, the poll workers who are Owens supporters are doing the only thing they can do: Intimidate. And they’re doing that by calling the police. Nobody’s been arrested because nobody’s doing anything wrong.”

So much for that story, eh Chucky? So typical…. When a liberal knows that he is losing an election; they do they do best —- Which is lie and distort. It is no wonder that no one reads the lame blog any longer.

Islamic Militants discover new foe, bears!

Oh, this is almost too funny to believe!

This comes via the BBC:

Two other militants escaped, one of them badly wounded, after the attack in Kulgam district, south of Srinagar.
The militants were armed with AK-46s but were taken by surprise – police found the remains of pudding they had made to eat when the bear attacked.
It is thought to be the first such incident since Muslim separatists took up arms against Indian rule in 1989.
[…]
The militants had made their hideout in a cave which was actually the bear’s den, said police officer Farooq Ahmed.
The dead have been identified as Mohammad Amin alias Qaiser, and Bashir Ahmed alias Saifullah.
News of the attack emerged when their injured comrade went to a nearby village for treatment.
“Word spread in the village that Qaiser had been killed by the bear,” another police officer said.
A joint party of the police and army personnel went into the forest and collected the bodies of the two militants.
Police say they also recovered two AK-46 rifles and some ammunition from the hideout.

Can you just imagine that little scene for a minute? Those guys sitting in the cave; talking all about Terrorism and how that Muslims must dominate the world. —- “Allah Akbar! We Muslims must fight, we mus ——- Aaaaahhh! Bear! Run for your lives!”

Oh Man, that’s pee in the pants funny!

I guess the true moral of this story is; if you want to get your Jihad on, don’t do it in a bear cave. Because the last time I checked, Bears are not Muslim — just usually hungry.

UPDATED: Liberal "Comedy" insinuates that Glenn Beck should die

This is just asinine: (H/T HotAir)

The sick part is that Socialist Liberals think that this is funny. For the record; Glenn is MARRIED with with four children.

Update: I just wanted to add this thought; that if some Conservative media website had produced something of this Nature, insinuated that possibly someone in the Liberal media should die — like say Keith Olbermann or Rachel Maddow — as nice as that idea might sound — or maybe even the Ladies on the View —– except Elizabeth, of course —- The outrage in the liberal Blogosphere and in the MSM would be deafening. This shows you, the double standard in the Liberal comedy and media department. A liberal can mock a Conservative, like Glenn Beck and it is fine. But you let a Conservative do the same thing and it’s considered a federal crime.

Think Progress thinks that it is wrong to love America

It appears that Think Communist Progress has a problem with Doug Hoffman taking the 9/12 pledge, which was inspired by Glenn Beck.

Seems that these Communist tools and Chucky the Lizard King (but again, I repeat myself…) at Little Green Screwballs has a problem with this pledge.

What is that Pledge?

This:

1. America Is Good.
2. I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.
God “The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained.” from George Washington’s first Inaugural address.
3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.
Honesty “I hope that I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider to be the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.” George Washington
4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.
Marriage/Family “It is in the love of one’s family only that heartfelt happiness is known. By a law of our nature, we cannot be happy without the endearing connections of a family.” Thomas Jefferson
5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.
Justice “I deem one of the essential principles of our government… equal and exact justice to all men of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political.” Thomas Jefferson
6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.
Life, Liberty, & The Pursuit of Happiness “Everyone has a natural right to choose that vocation in life which he thinks most likely to give him comfortable subsistence.” Thomas Jefferson
7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.
Charity “It is not everyone who asketh that deserveth charity; all however, are worth of the inquiry or the deserving may suffer.” George Washington
8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.
On your right to disagree “In a free and republican government, you cannot restrain the voice of the multitude; every man will speak as he thinks, or more properly without thinking.” George Washington
9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.
Who works for whom? “I consider the people who constitute a society or a nation as the source of all authority in that nation.” Thomas Jefferson
The 12 Values
* Honesty
* Reverence
* Hope
* Thrift
* Humility
* Charity
* Sincerity
* Moderation
* Hard Work
* Courage
* Personal Responsibility
* Gratitude

What further proof that we need that Communist Socialist Liberal Democrats are an enemy to America and its founding principles? None, I would say.Yes, and this does include Chucky the lizard king and his screwball friends.

I think this would be a good time to donate to the Hoffman Campaign!

Others: Stop The ACLU

Think all this spending and Healthcare won't raise your Taxes?

Think again…

This comes via the Tax Prof:

Q & O chimes in:

So when you hear that all this new spending, which will indeed raise the deficit, won’t raise your taxes by a single “dime”, you can believe it if you wish. But that doesn’t mean it is true. And it certainly doesn’t mean Democrats can keep that promise. Because if they do, they’re simply kicking the same can down the road that Republicans have for years (and no, I’m not advocating massive tax increases, I’m just providing a little reality check to counter the nonsense the politicians continue to spout). The alternative to the tax rates above is to cut spending – drastically. If you see that on the horizon you’re the only one because Congress just raised the debt ceiling – again.

Where this means anything to me, is this. Not only would they have to raise taxes on the very wealthy. They would have to raise on people who are middle class and poor as well. So, as many Conservative Bloggers have pointed out in the past; when a Nation engages in statism and enacts those sort of policies —- everyone pays. From the very wealthy, to the extremely poor. You also pay with the loss of your liberty; what which is something that the statist socialist liberal Democrats find to be a quaint idea, that needs to be modernized.

It is official: Levi Johnston is a scumbag

Yesterday, AllahPundit wrote about this idiot; and I thought he was wasting his time. However, After watching this video; I am convinced, that this jackass is simply looking to destroy Palin to fatten his own pocketbook.

Watch CBS News Videos Online

Just be clear, for the 500’th time; I am not a Sarah Palin fan boy. But this just goes too far. It is obvious to me, that this turd is just going after Palin for the fame and for the money. Most likely to buy his damned mommy more drugs; as she is a druggie you know.

At this point, if I were the Palin family, I would go to court and DEMAND that the judge remove all of Levi Johnston’s visitation rights and fix it where he never saw the child again, ever. I would bring up the drugs, I would bring up the posing for playgirl; I would inform them of his actions, and that he is more interested in being a “star” than he is a Father.

I know that I might sound a bit harsh; but it is quite obvious to me, that Levi Johnston is simply looking to cash in on Bristol Palin’s lapse in judgment; which, quite frankly, is much of Levi’s fault. Had Mr. horn-dog kept his hands off of her, she would not be pregnant and that baby would not even be here. All of this just to either make money for himself and possibly get back at Palin and or Bristol. That my friends, is the perfect definition of an asshole and that my friends is what Levi Johnston is.

Quite frankly, I am a bit pissed off at John McCain; for basically using Sarah Palin as window dressing for his rather idiotically ran campaign. If John McCain would have picked someone else; Sarah Palin would not be having to write books to defend herself and that poor family of hers. I mean, God love them people; they have been literally through hell and yet, they say nothing. No lawsuits, No lashing out. Nothing. I just do not see how they do it. If that were me, would be suing the living crap out of every damned Liberal media outlet that even remotely slandered me and my family; I’m talking multi-millions of dollars of lawsuit money. I would go after all of them; when I was finished with them, there would be some very wealth California Socialists who would be paying me some very big money and if their websites and papers went under, that would be just be too bad.

As for you, Mr. Levi. I just lost what little respect that I actually had for you dude. For a while; I actually gave you the benefit of the doubt. You have nothing on Sarah Palin; if it is anything, it is so damned minor, that not one damn person would even remotely care. Especially coming from a idiotic opportunist jack ass like you.

May you rot in the hottest part of the devil’s hell, you bastard piece of tripe.
